House Heat,
Light Come
From Atoms
By ALTON L. BLAKESI.EE
AMocUicd Freu Science Reporter
OAK RIDGE, Tenn. Ifl Atomic
energy is heating s house here
and lighting electric lumps in Ida
ho, both by peaceful power.
And "In the not-too-distant fu
ture,'' energy from atoms In atom
ic ovens may replace the TVA
electric power system, Dr. Alvln
M. Weinberg, research director ol
the Oak Ridge National Labora
tory said Thursday.
In fact, "we have to make atom
ic energy work" to produce useful
harnessed power or civilliatlon
will suffer because of dwindling
cqal supplies, he said.
NEWS TOUR
Dr. Weinberg gave the hopeful
news and the warning during a
tour when newsmen were shown
the Oak Ridge atomic oven, the
nation's first big atomic reactor,
end other newly-bared secrets at
this hune atomic research center.
Dr. Weinberg's report:
1. The house has been heated for
your years by winds that cool the
Oak Ridge oven. The hot air is car
ried off through filters and through
concrete ducts and then up a 200
loot smokestack.
2. The lights were lit by elec
tricity generated by the atomic re
actor at Arco. Idaho. The heat
from splitting atoms 'as used to
make steam to run a generator.
3. About 200 million dollars have
been spent so far on ovens de
signed to create electric power. So
far the public has gotten only a
"measly 100 kilowatts of electrici
ty running a few lights a few days
at Arco."
TVA THREAT
But there is hope, Dr. Weinberg
said, that "in the not-too-indeflnlte
future, we may put the TVA out of
business. We may push the button
to turn TVA off and turn nuclear
energy on."
It is "no longer really a ques
tion of whether we can make atom
ic energy work this way. We have
to make it work." he said.

PORTLAND OB the fire alarm
sounded, and off went a fire truck.
It never got there, for a fireman
fell off on a curve, and the truck
had to stop.

to collide with a freight truck. The
freight truck finally pulled free
from locked bumpers, but backed
into a trolley bus. The bus had to
be taken out of service.
Bumper and fender dangling, the
second fire truck finally got to the
apartment where the fire was re
ported. Firemen dashed Inside and

Heart Trouble
Top Killer
Diseases of the heart and blood
vessels topped the six leading
causes of death in the United
States in 1950, according to the
American Heart Association.
Statistics say, 745,000 persons
died of heart troubles that year,
more than three times as many
as died from cancer. No. 2 killer.
Accidents killed 88.000 persons.
pneumonia 47,000 tuberculosis 34,
000 and nephritis 29,000.
To battle the disease far in the
lead of all other killers In the
country, the American Heart As
sociation has established the Heart
Fund, and it's 1952 quota stands
at S8.000.000.
Klamath county's portion of the
overall goal is but $3,000, but chair
man Norm Wilson has announced
the county drive is lagging some
what. About 25 per cent of the funds
raised go to the national program
of the American Heart Association,
and Wilson said a large portion of
the remainder remains In the com
munity and state for local heart
work.
Red plastic coin containers are
being placed in various stores and
lobbies in down town Klamath
Falls to facilitate collections.
Wilson pointed out that tomor
row, Valentine's Day, is the fea
ture day of the drive. ValenUne
has as a symbol a heart, the sym
bol of the Heart Fund campaign

forces Thursday against congres
sional proposals to ulvo federal
sanction to compulsory "fair tiulo"

Mnlng up against proposed "fair
